After printing use a copy machine to reduce or enlarge the design. Use measurement lines as a guide for correct size.

Making Full Quilting Design: Cut a paper square 17" x 17". Draw a line vertically and horizontally from side to side and top to botton, through the center. Aligning solid lines, trace the above design onto the paper for each quadrant. After finishing the drawing, transfer the design to the fabric, using method of choice.

MAKING QUILT LABELS

Always identify your quilts. Attach a label that tells who, when, where, and any other pertinent information you may want to add.

Reduce or enlarge the design, using a copy machine, to make any size label.

Tip: Cut a piece of freezer paper larger than the label. Press paper, using a dry iron, to the wrong side of the fabric, shiny side against fabric. Trace the design. The paper will help to make the process of tracing the lines easier. After design has been traced, remove the paper.

TRANSFERRING QUILTING DESIGNS

Reduce or enlarge the designs, using a copy machine, to fit any size border or block.

Trace designs onto light colored fabric using a light box or glass top table with light source. If lines on the paper are difficult to see, darken the lines using a permanent pen.

Punch holes along the design outlines. Lay paper on top of dark fabric and sprinkle powdered chalk or cornstarch on the paper. Carefully lift the paper. Connect the dots using a marking pencil of your choice.
